**RE-UPLOAD!!**
I'm re-uploading the interview with a new picture, on request by Tommy Mars himself!
Interview with Tommy Mars by Juha Rompannen, recorded 1996-04-20 in Los Angeles.
Tommy Mars is a keyboard player who played piano, organ and synthesizers in Frank Zappa's touring- and recordingband between 1977 and 1982.
Tommy talks about his musical schooling, his time with Frank, synth- and keyboard technology and current projects.
He has a really normal speaking voice.

Awesome interview. He is one of my favorite Zappa keyboardists! Need a Scott Thunes interview next!

I know exactly what he means about the wrong note being played to drive you crazy. Frank experimented with that, I wonder how Tommy dealt with it.
